BRIDGETON — A city man faces robbery and weapons charges after he was confronted by a store’s employees during an alleged shoplifting attempt Saturday, according to police.

Employees at the C Town supermarket told police that they saw a man — identified as Larry J. Hill, 59, of Bridgeton Fairton Road — trying to conceal food and leave the store without paying, according to reports.

The employees confronted Hill, and he allegedly took a swing at one of them, police said. The punch did not land, but Hill allegedly broke glass on the front door while trying to escape the store, authorities said.

Hill was arrested without incident when the first officer arrived. When he was searched, Hill was allegedly in possession of brass knuckles and a knife, according to police.

Hill was charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. He was lodged in the Cumberland County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail.
